I’ve been doing it wrong
I’ve been doing things wrong.
I know that. And I know what I’ve been doing wrong. One of the things I’ve been doing wrong I just remedied. I watched as sites all around me changed to nice magazine-esque themes with “sliders” and pictures and etc. while I did nothing. I stuck to the “simple and clean” mantra I was taught in the past, when I was learning to be a professional blogger. I ignored something else I had learned, and that is “evolve or die.” People like magazine-esque themes with “sliders” and pictures and etc.. Heck, I like them. So, I have changed the theme here at workathomenerd.com. I think it looks better, and I know it works better. The old theme didn’t work exactly right, and I knew that yet did nothing about it – another thing I was doing wrong.
Another thing is the way I have been writing. It would appear that I haven’t been writing very much at all. I have no new book even though over a year has passed since I completed my last released book. My blogs look like ghost towns. But I have been writing – just in the wrong ways. If you’re here reading this, your mind is probably open to learning something new and/or hearing out someone else’s opinion. That’s the right kind of people to write to. But rather than writing to such people and reading blogs of people that want to do the same, I’ve been posting on reddit. I’ve gone into conversations with good intentions – state my opinion and get a better grasp of the reasoning behind the opinions of others – but eventually realized the other person had no interest in this. I wrongly assumed that most people know there is no right and wrong when it comes to opinions, that people know they are not able to change my opinions and morals just as I am able to change theirs. In short, I’ve been wasting my time and writing skills and came away with nothing of value to show for it.
I hope to right that wrong as well. So stay tuned to all of my sites.
